So what does it take to win your users back through a single error page? And most importantly, what exactly is a 404 page?

What is a 404 page?

Essentially, 404 page is the error page that displays to your users when they go to a page that doesn’t exist within your active website.

First and foremost, you need to know that as a result of a broken link, 404 pages are bound to lower your UX. Fixing your broken links is an important task unless you want to lose search engines’ trust. That’s the best advice to get here.

No matter how hard you try, however, the possibility of stumbling upon an unexistent webpage remains.

The best method is incorporating creative 404 pages into your websites keeping people so entertained that they can’t get mad at you.
